Zero Waste Scotland - Revolve Certification
Revolve is Scotland’s national re-use quality standard, which aims to increase re-use by improving professionalism, customer experience and visibility of re-use organisations.
What does Revolve mean to you?
45% of people in Scotland say that if they can be assured of the quality, safety and cleanliness of products then they would be more likely to shop second-hand. That’s where Revolve certification comes in.
Gareth working on recycling and repairsSince 2017, Shetland Home Co has been one of 116 Revolve certified stores across Scotland, each independently assessed and accredited for commitment to quality, safety, customer service, and continuous improvement.
